In a small group, a teacher or therapist reads the story as students follow along and match a word and picture to each page. After the book is complete, the teacher or therapist can extend the activity to other areas of focus such as sequencing skills, visual discrimination/identification skills, positional concepts skills, and sorting and classification skills by using the included supplemental activities.

Sample Text:

"Ten little flies were buzzing near a tree.
One little fly said, "You can't catch me!"
Up hopped the frog, as the bugger buzzed by.
He slurped and he smacked and he ate that fly!

"Nine little flies were buzzing near a tree.
One little fly said, "You can't catch me!"
Up hopped the frog, as the bugger buzzed by.
He slurped and he smacked and he ate that fly!"
